Big Bang 2006 1st Concert Live DVD - The Real
Big Bang 2006 1st Concert Live DVD - The Real DVD Region All
(34)Our Price: US$37.99List: US$53.99Save: US$16.00 (30%)Related promotions:March 3, 2007 Commendable EffortBig Bang's first concert it is not perfect, but it is a commendable effort. A really enjoyable concert and I'm sure there are parts that will surprise you and just make you smile.
The content is good but there are some technicalities that I wish were better. For example, the volume. Sometimes the volume would get louder or softer when I didn't even touch the volume dial. A consistent volume would have made this product better. Also, the camera focuses more on GDYB so fans of these two will be super pleased. More coverage of other members would have been nice. Only the concert was subbed. The mini video clips played throughout the concert were not subbed and neither was the behind the scenes. Subbing these would have made the DVD set more complete.
Other than these technical issues, the concert was great. The packaging is unique. A worthwhile product to buy, especially for Big Bang fans. Despite issues with YesAsia, the product itself is excellent.
Last thing I should mention is that the posters that are now being sold separately as the "Big Bang 2006 1st Concert Live DVD - The Real Poster Set" on YesAsia, those exact pictures (1 group photo and 5 individual photo) can be found in the photobook except the graffiti is not on the photos; it will be on the page beside it. (Ex: For GD. His photo has him holding the waterbottle. That photo is on the right page of the photobook. The graffiti with his name on a white background is on the left side). So if you need more time to save up for the posters, know that identical pictures as the ones used for the posters are in the photobook.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

February 5, 2007 One of my favourite dramas!I love this OST... it's really beautiful.
Track 3 is one of my favourite tracks. The beginning starts off like a music box so I ripped my CD and just cut that part out and used it as my ringtone. A friend I was with commented that it really matched the weather outside as it was snowing at the time and I said to him: "wow, the name of the track is 'snow in japan'!" The OST really conveys itself well. It has a lot of feeling and emotions in it.
If you are a fan of Lee Wan, he sings track 15. Any fan of the drama especially should get this. You'll feel so nostalgic listening to it.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

On a recent music show, SSK said that he probably wouldn't put out another album while in his twenties due to the mandatory army enrollment in Korea (currently 28). It will be awhile before his next one so pick this one up to tide you over!Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

That being said, I'm glad I waited until all repackage versions were out before buying this D version (comes with the 30 card pieces and interviews and MV DVD)
Since there are already tons of reviews on this CD already I'll just say that I feel this album is very much in the same style as vol.1 and 2 so if you liked their earlier albums then this album will probably be a pleaser.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(15)Our Price: US$12.99List: US$18.99Save: US$6.00 (32%)Related promotions:January 27, 2007 ImpressedI didn't really know what to expect from this album except for the reviews before mine that I had read on Yes Asia. I bought this album because there were many people saying it is good and since it is being sold so cheaply, I thought to myself why not. This is a great way to get to know more artists.
Now that I have had a chance to listen to it throughly, I have to say I am impressed. There are some really great songs on this album. I really love his slow and ballad songs the most.
That being said, about half the tracks were faster paced songs (for the most part) which I didn't enjoy as much as the others and they were 7,8,9,10,12,13, and 14.
But! An Jae Wook does have a good voice; he is a great singer so even though his style of song for those particular tracks were not what I would normally listen to, I still think this CD is worth every cent.
My favourite track would have to be track 4. In the begining and there after at certain parts, the melody/tune reminds me of Chinese oldies music from old films.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(4)Our Price: US$13.99List: US$19.99Save: US$6.00 (30%)Related promotions:January 27, 2007 An Excellent Album!I've listened to Mc Mong's vol.1-3 and I have to say that in my personal opinion, vol.3 is his best album to date. I love every single one of his songs on this one.
Just a brief blurb on some tracks: the first track is an into named "news" and it's pretty funny. Second track is his mutizen winning song "Ice cream"; it's a really fun, upbeat and addictive song to listen to.
I really love the collab tracks on the album; track 3 (ft. Lisa)!!, esp track 5 (ft. Park Hyo Shin)!!, track 10 ft. MayBee and track 12 ft. Ivy.
Other recommended tracks include 6 and 7.
The packaging is also really nice. The album flips open and on the left side there is the lyrics book and on the left side there is a double sided really long fold out of 2 mc mong photoshoot photos. The folders holding these two items are also made from mc mong cut outs. It's actually quite a creative packaging.
Both the content and packing are superb. I really love and recommend this album.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

December 5, 2006 The Best!I love this photobook so much... it is worth the money as it is really big and thick. It's 9 shipping units for YesAsia! ... a big and heavy photobook filled with beautiful pictures of Se7en. I was so happy to get this and actually when I first wanted to get it YesAsia was out of stock so I was heartbroken. I was so glad YesAsia was able to get it more because other sites are sold out... I only know YesAsia has this so get it before it's really gone!
This comes with a VCD of videos and a Se7en sticker sheet.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

December 2, 2006 Very fun to watch.Se7en is such an incredible live performer, you'll watch it and you won't want to stop. All the songs are great but in the end, 3 encore songs are performed and I just loved that last part the most. I also love the backstage clips, you get to see everything being put together and then it really hits you how much work and effort is put into a Se7en concert. As a little bonus you also get a Se7en photobook and photo card.
All in all, I really loved this DVD. I live half way across the world so I couldn't attend the concert. This was the next best thing and I feel I got my money's worth.
I think this is something fans and non fans will enjoy :)Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(6)Our Price: US$32.99Usually ships within 7 daysRelated promotions:December 2, 2006 Se7en's first Jpn album.From a person who's not a fan of jpop, this album was pretty good. As always Se7en's voice is great, and watching the DVD really helped the songs grow on me.
And actually, when I first heard 24/7 and First Se7en (this was at the same time), I thought First Se7en was better. The ballads really caught my attention but later 24/7 grew on me a lot more and that's a whole other review.
I'm sure jpop lovers will really like this album so give it a try! Another commendable effort by Se7en.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

If you feel you are a true Se7en fan, then I'm positive that you will love this treat that Se7en and YG have brought out. A must have, it comes with fun Se7en bricks, the con DVD was really fun to watch, and the photobook was so nice. The last photo is the cutest. You can really see Se7en's childish and boyish charms in that photo. & of course it comes with the album. Any collector of Se7en merchandise should buy it! It's probably a little too pricey for casual fans of Se7en.

SE7EN Vol. 3 - 24/7
December 1, 2006 Se7en's best album so far.I love this album! Se7olution is great but if we're talking about the sorts of beats that Se7en is known for, I think vol.3 is more like vol.1 and 2 than vol.4 is.
I think this is Se7en's best album. Great beats throughout and there are some super catchy songs on here. I even showed this album to my friends and coworkers because I loved it so much; they were impressed too.
If you want something that's strong and with a rap-r&b tone, this is it. Great car tunes.
Definitely recommended, I listened to this album straight for weeks and for months I'd keep coming back to it.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

In three words: it is awsome. Other than the title song and fan favourites, I'd have to recommend "Real Luv Story" featuring Taebin/Danny of 1TYM and Wheesung. It's such a fun song and I love the harmony. They sound good together.
Also... it comes in really funky packaging (especially the lyrics booklet)Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

December 1, 2006 Excellent!I can not say enough good things about this album. Endy Chow is not your typical canto pop/rock fare. His music has a very distinct flavour and is just a breath of fresh air in the stale HK music industry. I really enjoyed this album. There is a feeling of sincerity and genuinity in his lyrics and his songs. You can tell he sings and writes from his heart.
Every song is great, there is honestly not a single song I do not like. Although he may not have the strongest voice, his voice is still very nice to listen to. I am very impressed with him and especially this album. If you look at my other reviews you'll see that it's mainly for Korean music... Endy's one of the few Chinese artists that have caught my ear, so this a a recommended album for me.

December 1, 2006 Another good Endy album
Once again Endy brings back that extra oomph to HK pop rock. I really liked all the songs on this album except for the last track. It's really slow getting into the song and boring. It's not terrible... but not great either. Other than that one song, the rest are good.

December 1, 2006 A good canto band.This is heavier music than what I would normally listen to. I bought this because this was the band that Endy was a part of.
It starts of with a baby-like voice crying as the intro track and I just thought that was the most bizarre thing but strangely at the same time I felt compelled to keep listening to it and before you knew it the track was over and it jumps right into a really upbeat song. There are some rock ballads, and then there are some really crazy songs. Overall, I quite liked this album, it has a really distinct flavour, different than Endy's solo works. There is a certain genuinity in the songs; in this aspect this is similar to Endy's solo stuff.
The DVD that it comes with is great. There is sometimes that misconception that musicians or stars are really glamourous and cool people and while that might be true, they are also human beings and I think the DVD really brings out the silliness and dorkiness of the members. You see them wearing normal clothes, Endy's even wearing thong sandles and goes out like that; very casual. I really liked how it was like a day with the band rather than a sit down in nice clothes and face the camera interview.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

December 1, 2006 Good collab projectHonestly when I first found out about this collab I didn't have high expectations for it because the two artist's styles seemed to be so different... I didn't know how they would be able to create something that suited them both.
I gave it a try anyways and am I glad that I did. Scandal is a really catchy song. The beginning sounds a lot like something you would hear in American rap/r&b music. 127 days has a very sad and touching MV... and is a good slow song too. Good vibration is Ok and I love One Day. Kangta and Vanness's voices compliment each other perfectly.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

I wanna... (Japan Version)
1 people found the following helpful
December 1, 2006 Very catchy.I'm not a fan of jpop and although I've bought all of Se7en's albums and singles to date, I have to say that the best Japanese single would have to be this one. It's definitely not "jpop-y" and the instrument to I Wanna is so melodic. I put it on loop and it makes the best background music for when I'm doing homework. It's ear candy yet at the same time not distracting because there's no singing. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

December 1, 2006 Best Rain album so farTo date I think this is Rain's best album. His previous albums there were a few songs I really liked but there were also always songs I didn't really like. With this one, there wasn't one song I didn't like save the remix.
I first heard these new songs while watching Rain's Coming Showcase on SBS and was very impressed with the songs and his performace. Song and performane together, it was a killer combo. It's so hard to pick some definitely recommend songs but here goes: 2,4 (I actually looked up the lyrics to 4 and they are so sad),6,10,12,13. These are the slower songs and the reason I like these the most is because they show Rain's range more but the rest are all excellent songs.
I have no regrets buying this album.

SE7EN Vol. 4 - Se7olution
(33)Our Price: US$14.99List: US$21.99Save: US$7.00 (32%)Usually ships within 1 to 2 daysRelated promotions:December 1, 2006 A change...At first this album surprised me... I knew it would not be like his other albums, and yet knowing this, I was still very surprised. Upon first listen I did not really like it much. I wasn't disappointed with Se7en's voice... but more the style of the songs... I wasn't used to it. But after listening to it a few more times, the songs really do grow on you.
I actually like a few songs more than the title track, La La La, but that one is good too. I definitely recommend track 2, Girlfriend. It's an upbeat song and sounds really cute and playful (keep in mind I don't know any Korean, this is just the feeling this song gives me personally). Other recommened tracks are 3,4,5,7,8.
After listening to this album many times over again, I think that these songs show a more matured Se7en. Se7en wants to show to the world that he can sing different styles; that he is a versatile musician. Maybe you will not be used to the style of the songs, but I do not think you will be disappointed with his voice.
A recommended buy.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)
